[A] _ _ _ _ [D] The dream was not a vision _ [Bm] or some premonition like we were told.
_ [G] _ It was no figment of the imagination [Em] to [F#m] prove that [G] we could be bought or sold.
[D] The document of the dogma _ [Bm] could be revealed to the intelligent _ [G] if this is what I resent.
Who cares [Em] for the ignorant?
[F#m] _
[G] The intelligent, _ _ [F#m] the cynics [G] approach must [A] be.
_ [Em] _ [F#m] Who cares for [G] anything unless who I [D] would accept me? _
_ _ _ [Bm] And this opinion must not confuse [C#] the issue.
[G] _ My appearance, my condition are a [Em] state of delivery.
[F#m] _ _
[G] _ I am [Em] stating the [F#] obvious.
[G] _ [A] This is [Em] a [F#m] protest. _
[G] _ There must [Em] be a [F#m] conclusion. _
[G] _ [A] This is [F#m] no [G] Shakespearean [A] speech.
_ [Bm] _ [G] This is a [A] statement [Bm] made [A] by one [D] who cannot practice what he preaches.
_ _ [Bm] The _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ Statue of Liberty _ _ [Bm] has embraced on its wall.
_ _ [G] _ _ Give me your poor, give me your [Em] needy, [F#m] give me [G] them all.
_ _ [D] _ We need something like this [Bm] _ for this world to co-exist.
_ [G] _ It would be so easy [Em] to [F#m] act _
[G] _ supertentious, [Em] to [F#m] act as if [G] it was [A] hypocrisy,
_ [Em] to [F#m] act [G] _ condescending _ [D] when in fact this is the world [Bm] we live in.
And that's why I can't [G] relax, _ _ _
because inside my [Em] coat is a [F#m] pistol that I [G] pack.
_ We [Em] must beware [F#m] of a [G] surprise [A] nuclear [Em] attack.
_ [F#m] We [G] must be ready to strike [Em] back.
[F#] _ _
[G] I'm [A] not pretending.
[F#m] _ _ [G] Our [A] [Bm] defense is still demanding.
[G] _ [A] We must [Bm] keep [A] on [D] standing.
_ Forget the third world.
[Bm] It's near-deadly.
It's starving.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] It's frightening. _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ It's [Em] desolate. _ _ _
[A] _ It's oh-so [Em]-late. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ I would dearly love to [Bm] return _ to a mirror in twenty [C#] [G] years
and learn _ _ what [Em] the [F#m] future has [G] in store for us.
[D] _ _ _
And if I learned [Bm] that we lost and [F#m] there was no [G] hope for who's at the [Em] bank,
_ _ [F#m] [G] I would turn to drink, _ [Em] _ [F#m] and drink [G] its [A] drugs.
_ [Em] _ _ [F#m] Drugs [G] would help me sink.
_ [D] _ _ _
And _ like a [Bm] boat I'd float, _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ sail out to the sky,
[Em] _ _ [F#] to [G] the universe and back, [Em] _ [F#m] _ _
[G] maybe to give [A] it another [Em] try.
_ [F#m] I [G] don't know why I'd cry, Jack.
[Em] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[G] _ _ [A] Just [F#m] to go further, [G] _ _
[A] _ [Bm] just [G] to learn, [A] just [Bm] to be [A] nearer.
